TY - JOUR PY - 1996// TI - Have suicide prevention centers prevented suicide in japan?? JO - Archives of suicide research A1 - Lester, D. A1 - Saito, Y. A1 - Abe, K. SP - 125 EP - 128 VL - 2 IS - 2 N2 - A time series study of the Japanese suicide rate from 1970 to 1989 indicated that the establishment of suicide prevention centers may have been associated with a reduced suicide rate above and beyond the impact of social and economic factors. The effect was small and significant at only the 0.07 level, but sufficiently stable as to encourage further research to evaluate the effectiveness of suicide prevention centers. © 1996 Taylor & Francis Group, Ltd.
